Wrestlers Who Shouldn’t Have Followed Father’s Footsteps

Description

Like 9 to 5s, nepotism rules in the squared circle, and many young men have been introduced to professional wrestling by their fathers. Perhaps Dad owned the promotion, or maybe he was one of their big stars. In many instances, this produced splendid results, and legends were created whose radiance and brilliance far surpassed that of their procreators. Eddie Guerrero, Randy Savage, Owen and Bret Hart, Curt Hennig, and The Rock, are a few names that come to mind.  But alas, this is a story of a different color! Like Father, Unlike Son! What follows are several examples of young men who may have been better served getting a college degree, attending the American Bartenders Institute, or perhaps learning to fix a Chevrolet than following their fathers’ footsteps into a wrestling ring.
